Great townhome in excellent location

"Excellent vacation home close to everything, short walk to downtown, walk to the beach (steep hill to get back to the unit!) lots of activities close by. The unit is very modern and nicely decorated, everything you need including a large BBQ on the deck."

Quiet setting, good value

"We stayed for 9 nights and found this condo to be very clean, tastefully decorated and in a quiet area, overall a good value. The owners were very quick to reply to any queries we asked of them; both before and during our stay. The only fault I found was with the outdoor BBQ which was in bad need of replacing as the cooking grill area was so rusty that scrubbing it with steel wool did not help to remove the orange rust. I did find a stainless cooling rack in the kitchen that I placed on top of the grill to stop the rust from ruining my meals. I would recommend to couples looking for a quiet vacation."

Perfect base for summer vacation

"My daughter, with two children aged 8 and 5, and I used Powder Chalet as a base for a week's summer holiday in the Revelstoke area. It was a perfect choice. It had lots of character, plenty of space, was well-equipped with everything one might need - and the owners were delightful and helpful. We enjoyed meals on the back deck, and the fire pit for toasting marshmallows. It is in a quiet but convenient location.
There was so much to see and do in the area - short and full-day hikes with glorious scenery and wild flowers in two National Parks, interesting museums (our musical kids were fascinated by the Nickelodeon), hot springs and aqua centre, adventure and theme parks, railways and history, gondola, ghost towns, the dam, ferry across Arrow Lakes, Rogers Pass, etc. We ended with a 12 kms. hike to Eva Lake - and the kids carried their own backpacks!
We would highly recommend the chalet and the area to a family for a summer vacation.

Fantastic Ski and Adventure Base

"A half dozen of my friends and I get together every year for a week of skiing. We change resorts almost every year and this year, we decided on Fernie. We often get condo style accommodations but Snow Lake House (SLH) looked like a perfect fit to have us all in one place. Easy walk (or drive, if you want) to the hill, hot tub, 5 bedrooms...
Mike and Anna have just completed a great reno that adds a beautiful stone and cedar facade and balcony to the front of the house along with a great entrance hallway. The front of the home is visually miles ahead of what appears on the VRBO pictures (as of Feb 2015). All three upstairs bathrooms have obviously been recently upgraded. Beautiful job.
The hot tub, kitchen and dining room and two bedrooms look out over Snow Lake (not really a "lake", but bigger than a pond) toward the ski hill. With not-so-great ski conditions this year, it wasn't always the view we wanted to see, but I can imagine that waking up on on a pow day and looking at fresh snow on the trees would be inspiring. Probably pretty nice in the summer, too!
The living areas of the house are great. Very large and utile kitchen, big dining room (sat 14 when we had guests for dinner), and a comfortable living room with fire place on the main level and furnished rec room in the basement with its own TV and a pool table. No keys to lose... Mike had coded locks for all the doors and changed them (and the ski locker combination) to match my cell phone, so we were comfortable that nobody else had the numbers... not that it really mattered; I don't think there is a high crime rate here. The ski locker on the hill was great and held, realistically, 3 pairs of skis... 4 if you packed it carefully. With a rental pair and someone in for a tune every night, we didn't have to carry skis back and forth, but it wouldn't have been a problem anyway due to proximity.
The hot tub was freshly changed for our arrival. Mike had a service come in every couple of days to make sure it stayed that way. It was used every day.
Snow Lake House is obviously a well loved and maintained home. I would recommend it to families and guys and/or girls getaway groups anytime. Everyone in my group thought it was an excellent choice! When we get back to Fernie, Snow Lake House will be our first choice."
